For those of you that don't know, allow us to quickly bring you up to speed: Earlier this year the Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, unhappy with his approval rating among Canada's youth, decided he would try out an edgy new idea to try and up his appeal. He figured the best way to go about this would be to give himself a "Hip, patriotic, tell it how it is" alter ego called "Classified". Mr. Harper then proceeded to use this alter ego by starring in government funded hip hop videos, where in which he raps about Canadian history, celebrities, hockey and food.
No one wants this blog to become a heated political debate, but personally, I don't think that our Prime Minister (For our friends in the States, the Prime Minister is our bleached, politically castrated version of Barrack Obama) should be using government funding to feature himself in hip-hop videos. Props are, however, ostensibly due to his makeup artist who succeeded in making our country's leader appear a solid five years younger. Likewise featured is the entire House of Commons acting (and I hesitate to use the term 'acting') like a bunch of drunken, flag-waving, face-painted idiots starkly reminiscent of the gaggle of shit throwing gibbons that would do a better job of running this country.
Door to door, it's about a seven hour drive from my house to parliament. I personally plan to drive there (Despite the current inclement weather.) shit on the front lawn, video tape it and demand they pay for it. Anyone who feels their tax dollars will better serve our country than it does to produce the Prime Minister's hip hop career, please write a detailed letter to that effect and send it to:
